I want to buy a motorcycle.

Hello all 

I put a new tires on my new motorbike  Bridgestone Battlax T32 Sport turing tire

[RobMc]

Sport - Yes

Touring - definitely not

 

OK for a quick shower, like riding on marbles in a downpour

watch in the rain, first how much is coming down to gauge the wash time to clear the oil slick in the center of a lane when riding in the rain. 

tire i see is dry run type, just be careful on the thottle in turns, accel/decel quick may kiss the ground.

OK, but take a look at these T32's, they are not the same tread pattern on your bike?? at least by the photos they ain't?  I might be wrong but your photos show less tread pattern? These look better remember there is a very simple rule, all tyres stick well in the dry, few stick well in the wet.

See other comments, you do not appear to have the sport touring tyre fitted, they do a whole range of T's, what does it say on the sidewall???

This is an expensive machine, now I have no idea what the weather is like where you live, but no way would I use these in the UK other than the summer, as we say here keep it shiny side up.

If you regularly ride over that grass in the wet with those tyres I'd invest in stabilisers like on kiddies bikes 

[KaptCrunch]

same bike  legi

 

[KaptCrunch]

wet grass is trainning grounds of balance of the bike and  test is square an not bent frame.

just be easy on thottle and brakes.
